Train would like this guy.

It's been a while since I've played Magic in the games run board here. I used to always use Apprentice, but then the number of cards in the game became big enough that the program could no longer cope, and the volunteers that were updating it gave up. So I switched to Cockatrice, a potential...

Keep in mind that the only sanctioned formats with restricted lists are Vintage and two of the Magic Online formats, one of which is a Vintage analog and one of which is played using a very specific cardpool. The only one of those applicable to the full cardpool of Magic is the Vintage list, and...

1. 50% is too high. The 1/3 used in the official versions of Tribal seems fine to me. I don't know all of the reasons that WotC chose 1/3 as the ratio, but it seems like the right neighborhood to force players to build decks around creature types without basically crippling deckbuilding...

Yeah, I remember that someone wanted to expand the site like that. I don't particularly have such ambitions. It's just that Pokemon was a big issue for Magic players and discussions of Wizards of the Coast, but that was over a dozen years ago. Pokemon passed Magic up as the most popular CCG and...

Action This Day - Queen (1982).

Yeah, that was one big tangent. I blame Spiderman. As for humans as a tribe, DarthFerret played them in one of the tribal games, so maybe he'd have some insight for a human-based deck...

Girls Just Want to Have Fun - Cindi Lauper (1983).

Yeah, I said wasn't "just" me being petty. It might have been a factor. I was also trying to think of ways to build a deck that could top what I'd played before, as I'd only barely won with my spirit deck in game 13. I tried to build a Kor deck using a bunch of artifacts and damage redirection...

Ah, I'll use quote tags and bold tags instead of indent and underline in the future, then. Speaking of the submission page... Apologies for being a pedant, but does your administrator magic let you change that submission page? It appears to be something from the previous century. I'm being...

Big Game Hunter a one-drop? That's madness!

Actually, it was after Mooseman's combo using Palinchron and Mirari's Wake in Game 6 that we made a "gentleman's agreement" not to exploit infinite combos. I can see how one would think it was me, as I was the lone dissenter. If the highlander game is included, two games in a row had just been...

There I go, responding to the other stuff and not this question. We have a stickied thread in the games run forum that was the hub for all of our tribal games. It can be found here. However, as I touched on already, there are some issues with the first post in that thread. Limited copied and...

Take My Breath Away - Berlin (1986).

I think you might have the wrong idea about what the complaint was with the imposter tribal decks. To be clear, I do feel guilty about at least one of these decks. But there were rules and we did follow them. At least one third of a deck had to be creatures of the same creature type, which would...

Wait, so if I use the "code" tag, I can put whatever tags I want in, and it won't apply the tags? It's like a "put this in plain text" tag? Apparently. Mind blown.

Speaking of red one-drops, another great one is Goblin Guide. I've used it in Burn decks with no other creatures whatsoever, as it tends to do its fair share of damage before opponents can get the blockers to prevent that. If it hits an opponent twice, it'll have done more damage than a...

Article submitted just now. Hopefully the tags work. If not, hopefully Spiderman can fix them. It's kind of long, so I feel a bit guilty about that. I think it's way longer than anything the front page has had in a long time. I'm probably going to start writing articles more regularly, but they...

So we are treading in unknown territory now. It is a mystery. We are getting empirical about this, Spiderman. We are doing science.
